Corrections / Updates:
1.) Using sudo apt install {package.deb} will install with the dependencies, which dpkg does not check.
2.) Apparently the USB writer was as far back as 8.04...but has had a name change a few times. Not sure why I never saw that before, or even heard about it, as the inclusion of the tool in Linux Mint was always a selling point for me.

Once again, STL is FAKE NEWS!!!

Every time somebody complains about nothing happening when Y2K happened, I say you're welcome. We worked hard to make it happen with little drama.

[DavidHerron]

As for "not much happening" with Y2K -- it's possible that problems were avoided by all the effort to close Y2K bugs before Jan 1, 2000. I know that many companies were working on Y2K fixes during the 1990s, especially for places with lots of COBOL applications.

This is good that the Linux Kernal is 6.8; so you can run this fine with your latest hardware. I think the latest Linux Kernal is 6.9. Thanks for the quick review/changes.

I tested this on my 12th gen intel laptop and it gave me 3 power options performance, balanced and power saving.

Startup disk creator is here in Ubuntu 20.04. It might even be in earlier releases as well.

Another great disco review! Thanks so much! As always I enjoyed your content! Keep up the good work.

This means that we are getting a new Kubuntu 24.0X LTS release soon too. Sweet!

[PaulG.x]

23.10 installed in around 10 minutes on my systems.
I doubt 24.04 will be any different.
It must have something to do with the VM you are using

[stevendanderson]

At ~13:00 mark you stated that there's no GUI way to install .deb packages. How about downloading gdebi or synaptic?

USB creator was added in 8.10 - only 15 years ago

Would you be more likely to use Linux Mint Debian over default Linux Mint as a daily driver?

[rayne]

Good afternoon!! Love your videos!! I just put the LTS Beta on a Virtual Box VM to test. I logged into my Microsoft account but only had the option to link Mail. Were you able to successfully access OneDrive files this way?

[QuadDerrick]

anyone know if there is any point of waiting for main release date or just use the daily release ? i want to update... now =) anyone have any objections ? =)
*edit* it was always native disk writing tools, , just not gui, , dd command in terminal.

[janatlmb]

Hello, me Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS here, perhaps I should update, but what should I go for?

[grahamlees]

I've now jumped ship for my daily driver to Debian 12 (stable) and totally happy with it - no Snaps but using better versions of Flatpak such as FF and Betterbird (as opposed to Thunderbird) which has more useful features and are maintained by Mozilla. It was always the case in the past that the best plan was to wait until the first point release of Ubuntu a few months down the line so that, many of the issues generated by the "rush to release" have at least a chance of being fixed.

The new search in the file manager is the search button in the top right corner for global indexed search.

[scottcampbell]

Does "install 3rd party drivers" install the proprietary AMD graphics drivers, or do you get the open-source ones whether or not you check that box?

[Rickety]

Nautilus has been freezing on launch in 23.04 ☹️ something with tracker3 connection timeout. I hope this is fixed in 24!

[szettner]

I agree with you that cloud computing is not a healthy direction. 30 minutes to install. Ouch! It took about 10 minutes to install 22.04 after I figured out that I accidentally didn't have my USB stick inserted all the way in. LOL Thanks for the review. I think I will stick to 22.04 for now.
